Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu is the proud owner of a brand new electric three-wheeler, the Montra from the Murugappa Group. He shared his excitement on social media, posting photos of his new eco-friendly ride. Vembu praised the Montra’s performance, highlighting its fast acceleration and smooth suspension. He expressed his preference for the electric three-wheeler over his Tata Nexon EV for short trips under 10 kilometers.
Vembu’s enthusiasm for electric three-wheelers stems from their practical advantages. He views them as a safer and more convenient alternative to scooters and motorcycles, especially for families and navigating tight urban spaces. He believes that electric three-wheelers have the potential to gain wider acceptance in the consumer market, paving the way for increased EV adoption.
However, social media users had mixed reactions to Vembu’s post. Some expressed doubts about the aspirational appeal of autos as personal vehicles, while others pointed to the popularity of similar modes of transport, such as tuk-tuks, in other countries. Despite these mixed reactions, Vembu remains optimistic about the future of electric three-wheelers in India.
The Montra Super Auto EV comes with two battery pack options, offering a range of over 160 kilometers and a top speed of 55 kilometers per hour. It is an eco-conscious and practical choice for urban commuters looking for a convenient and affordable mode of transport. Vembu’s endorsement of the Montra electric three-wheeler is likely to generate further interest and discussion around the potential of this segment in the Indian automotive market.
